During this assignment I found that I really enjoy working in teams and the creative process can be a lot easier with multiple people contributing to the idea generation for a project, however I realise that sometimes its hard to agree on things and keep everybody on the right track. I think my team didContinue reading Assignment Review
This is my final animation which I created in Procreate. Overall, im not very happy with the outcome as there were limits with the Procreate animation system as well as finding it hard to keep a consistent art style. I also found it was difficult to make my scene 5-7 seconds as I got aContinue reading Final Animation
In our groups we created an animatic of our chosen scene. The scenes we chose had to transition into one another to create the full animatic of what we created in our storyboards. I chose to do the scene where our cowgirl character, Debbie, is walking through the doorway to Carmilla’s gothic home. I wantedContinue reading Animatic
I drew a design for our vampire character Carmilla, I was heavily inspired by Elvira and Morticia Addams especially for the outfit which I created a mood board using Pinterest for. I wanted to keep the design fairly simple which we agreed on as a group because we have to animate her at some pointContinue reading Character Design
I used Krita to create these ball animations while trying to understand the 12 principles of animation and timing. I used a lot of the squash and stretch technique to convey the balls material and tried to convey the weight of the ball using the content we learnt in class. I also used the referenceContinue reading Ball Animations
Today we did a storyboard exercise in class to help us understand the process, for when we start planning out our storyboards for our animation. We used a template provided and only drew the character as a flour sack. I also drew a short storyboard in Procreate of a flour sack jumping. I used thisContinue reading Storyboarding
We looked at character shapes again and how different sizes, shapes or heights can impact a characters personality and role in their world. I turned as many blobs as I could into little characters as well as looking at 3 celebrities and drawing them as cartoon characters using exentuated shaped and exaggeration.
I have moved to a group where the idea is the world is covered in doors. We havent officially come up with proper lore and world design yet but my new group decided we would change that idea and make it so in this world there are cats that have their own village with catContinue reading Door World
As a class exercise we coloured in a thumbnail using a complimentary colour scheme to help convey that world’s mood and theme. I also brainstormed some colour palette options for our avian apocalyptic world.
I looked at some movies/shows that have scenes in them which really set the mood for the world and show the audience what type of universe it is set in. These can be used as inspiration for my thumbnails, I also put the in black and white to help visualise them as monochrome thumbnails. IContinue reading Films
